Description: (TLDR)
The first cider guide by David Kitton in the same format used when it was adopted by CAMRA including some short articles..
On the back of the book it says:
Cider has doubled in popularity in the last few years. Besides the well-known keg and bottled brands there is a wealth of traditional and farmhouse ciders giving an even richer choice of flavour and experience. The recent revival of interest in country style products has created widespread demand for traditional draught cider - made from natural ingredients by natural methods, and served without gas pressure - and it is now a favourite drink across the country, dispensed from hand pumps, casks and wooden barrels.
Here for the first time is a directory to help you track down and enjoy the delights of one of England's oldest drinks.
a county by county section shows which ciders are on sale where, with details of pubs, cafes, wine bars, clubs off licences and farm shops
each cider farm and it's products are described, and the places where the brands of each maker can be found are listed
farm cider makers selling direct from their premises are included, with directions on how to reach the more obscure locations
Plus features on: the extraordinary institutions the English cider house, where beer is banned, how cider is made; and some of the ancient customs associated with this most English of drinks.
